Aid, policies and growth in sub-Saharan Africa
(2014) NEKH01 20141Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This thesis investigates the impact of foreign aid in 46 sub-Saharan countries. Furthermore,
this study also examines what effect the interaction between policies and aid has on growth.
This is done through a panel based OLS regression model on the years of 1996-2011. The
main findings are that there’s not a clear answer to whether aid has a significant effect on
growth and that the result depends somewhat on specification. Regarding the interaction
between policies and aid, this study does not find any significant evidence for its effect on
growth.
